Looks real good. How about a shot of them from a distance away so that we can see them with the trailer and boat?

You might have found the solution to my problem. What kind of primmer, paint and how many coats. That does look sharp.

Thanks! I like my chrome wheels too, but not crazy about the rust. Previous owner must not have cared.
